Behind to bulldogs 49 to 93

MBrown kicks his 4th 55 to 93

 

Goal to bulldogs 55 to 99

Behind by 54 for Casey 56 to 99


Weideman misses 57 to 99

Thanks again @WERRIDEE

If you get a chance would love to hear how Dunstan and a few of the kids went.

 

Cheers

Dunstan goals 64 to 99

 

DSmith takes a speccy

Melksham kicks a behind final score 65 to 99 I will do a report when I get home


Firstly the first thing I'll say is that the bulldogs will be the benchmark of the VFL with great players like Wallis, West, Ugle-Hagen and co and Casey will be a lot better when they get our quality VFL players out on the park like Zaharkis and co.

Team

B: D.Smith, Ellison, McVee

HB: Baker, 51, Freeman

C: Howes, Dunstan, Woewodin

HF: Melksham, van Rooyen, Rosman

F: Moniz-Wakefield, Weideman, M.Brown

FOLL: Bell, White, Laurie

IC: Munro, Goonan, Quigley, Grey, 54, 69 (sudanese player)

Goals: 4  M.Brown, 1 Dunstan, Howes, van Rooyen, Weideman

 

D.Smith - Unassuming player, took a speccy but was otherwise quiet.

McVee - Only touched the ball a couple of time, plenty to work with

Baker - Started off well but died out of the game.

Howes - showed some good signs particually early.

Dunstan - Went ok but I expected more from him.

Woewodin - Played well particually early gave a great chase down tackle.

Melksham - Disappointing never got going and missed a goal he would normally kick.

van Rooyen - Showed some signs considering he had limited opportunites. Took a great contested mark and done a great chase down tackle to go with his goal.

Rosman - Is a worry doesn't seem to get a lot of the ball, needs to improve dramatically to keep his spot on the list.

Moniz-Wakefield - Quiet and missed a sitter.

Weideman - Played a fair bit in the ruck. Went OK without being special.

M.Brown - Just knows where the goals are a perfect replacement for Fritsch if he gets injured.

Laurie - Went ok plenty to work with not out of his depth.

Hey Werridee, thanks for your efforts today, much appreciated.

But tell me, what happened to the great depth we are supposed to have (not including the extra VFL players)?It doesn't sound like any of these guys will be pushing for senior selection any time soon.

Probably under selling the depth of the bulldogs they have as good as depth as anyone. Mitch.Brown is close to selection, his 4 goals can't be ignored. We missed the strength of Daw in the ruck.

They dominated the midfield and games are won in  the midfield and our midfield is young except for Dunstan and White who really isn't a midfielder. Give them time Howes, Laurie, Woewodin look promising. The bulldogs were top of the table last year I don't see that changing. If we played a lesser side we could have very well won. 

I wonder how much scope there is of playing those top up players every week of the season? The rules seem a bit vague.

With the Melbourne injury list probably at it longest in a couple of years, it certainly wasn’t the strongest Casey team out there in the park. 

Kade Chandler, Majak Daw, Michael Hibberd, Jake Lever, Harrison Petty, Trent Rivers and Daniel Turner are all missing through injury/unavailability  by my calculations. Also none of the new top up players although it’s not clear as to whether they’re eligible yet.

Happy to be proven wrong but there’s no indication the former afl players we’ve added to our top up list will actually play for Casey. They’re all making more money with less work playing local footy. We can’t afford Zaharakis, Lonie, Reid, Moore! Buntine will play and Conca we might be able to talk in to some Casey footy given he’s around the group, most likely he plays local footy or has a rest. Not the others.

They’re only signed in case we start having injuries and covid cases and get down towards the bare minimum.

They desperately need to play him on a half back flank and teach him how to defend and contest. He’ll never learn the game on the wing or half forward. 

It will be interesting who gets a senior debut for the Demons later this season.

I think Woewodin, Laurie, Howes and van Rooyen are all possibilities if they perform well at Casey. Nevertheless, we shall wait and see.

 Why have you signaled out one player and given him a label.

That's my understanding, they stay at local level and only play at if needed.

Well that's a shame. Casey really haven't got the depth to cover our injuries. I thought with Zaharakis, Lonie, Reid and Moore we could push for the flag but without them the Bulldogs will beat us like they did last night.

Chandler didn't play not sure what is wrong with them.

I think these added blokes like Lonie and Zaharakis are AFL Covid impact cover as opposed to being Casey recruits for 2022. Casey in 2022 will be AFL listed plus guys like Munro, Buntine, Freeman, White, Etc.

  • PREVIEW: West Coast

    Saturday’s election night game in Perth between the West Coast Eagles and Melbourne represents 18th vs 15th which makes it a tough decision as to which party to favour. The Eagles have yet to break the ice under their new coach in Andrew McQualter who is the second understudy in a row to confront Demon Coach Simon Goodwin who was also winless until a fortnight ago. On that basis, many punters might be considering to go with the donkey vote but I’ve been assigned with the task of helping readers to come to a considered opinion on this matter of vital importance across the nation. It was almost a year ago that I wrote a preview here of the Demons’ away game against the Eagles (under the name William from Waalitj because it was Indigenous Round).  I issued a warning that it was a danger game, based on my local knowledge that the home team were no longer easybeats and that they possessed a wunderkind generational player in Harley Reid who was capable of producing stellar performances playing among men a decade and more older than he.  At the time, the Eagles already had two wins off the back of a couple of the young man’s masterclasses and they had recently given the Bombers a scare straight after their Anzac Day blockbuster draw against the then reigning premiers.

  • REPORT: Richmond

    The fans who turned up to the MCG for Melbourne’s Anzac Day Eve clash against Richmond would have been disappointed if they turned up to see a great spectacle. As much as this was a night for the 71,635 in attendance to commemorate heroes of the nation’s past wars, it was also a time for the Melbourne Football Club to consolidate upon its first win after a horrific start to the 2025 season. On this basis, despite the fact that it was an uninspiring and dour struggle for most of its 100 minutes, the night will be one for the fans to remember. They certainly got value out of the pre match activity honouring those who fought for their country. The MCG and the lights of the city as backdrop was made for nights such as these and, in my view, we received a more inspirational ceremony of Anzac culture than others both here and elsewhere around the country.

  • CASEY: Richmond

    The match up of teams competing in our great Aussie game at its second highest level is a rarity for a work day Thursday morning but the blustery conditions that met the players at a windswept Casey Fields was something far more commonplace.They turned the opening stanza between the Casey Demons and a somewhat depleted Richmond VFL into a mess of fumbling unforced errors, spilt marks and wasted opportunities for both sides but they did set up a significant win for the home team which is exactly what transpired on this Anzac Day round opener. Casey opened up strong against the breeze with the first goal to Aidan Johnson, the Tigers quickly responded and the game degenerated into a defensive slog and the teams were level when the first siren sounded.
